SEE<br />
If you want to explore<br />
the city, I recommend<br />
getting on a bike. Did you know<br />
that Calgary has the most extensive<br />
urban pathway system in all of<br />
North America? Soon adding 130<br />
km to connect all 55 communities<br />
in Calgary, it will be the largest in<br />
the world - not to mention on flat<br />
terrain. Convenient for locals and<br />
travelers, NOMAD: a mobile gear<br />
rental company can deliver activity<br />
gear to your door. While taking<br />
your bike for a spin, make sure<br />
you stop at Alforno, a bright and<br />
minimalistic bike-friendly bakery<br />
and café serving treats and coffee to<br />
keep you pedaling.<br />
PLAY<br />
If hiking interests<br />
you, escape to<br />
the wilderness of Canmore’s<br />
surroundings in the heart of<br />
Kananaskis Country - just one hour<br />
from downtown Calgary. Explore<br />
the outdoors with AV Wakefield<br />
of Hike365, who brings outdoor<br />
loving females together to explore<br />
the great outdoors. I recommend<br />
starting with Grassi Lakes Trail: a<br />
two-kilometer hike with easy-tomoderate<br />
incline and superb views.<br />
SHOP<br />
If shopping is<br />
your cardio, take<br />
a walk down Stephen Avenue, the<br />
main pedestrian and bike friendly<br />
street where The CORE Shopping<br />
Center is located and indulge in<br />
some retail therapy at Holt Renfrew<br />
or Simons. Visit the East Village:<br />
Calgary’s first neighborhood - home<br />
to outdoor markets, yoga classes and<br />
river front dining. The East Village<br />
Junction is a recently opened plot<br />
of land with shipping containers<br />
converted into local shops as well as<br />
grassy patches with hammocks and<br />
picnic tables.<br />
